3 Motivation to lead the European energy intensive industry to high energy efficiency and a reduction of fossil carbon emissions to foster competitiveness, improve security of energy supply and promote sustainable production in Europe. Copyrght: Agrana By making use of waste heat potentials of industrial drying and dehydration processes, the most energy intensive and wide-spread processes in a number of industrial sectors

4 Motivation Final Energy Consumption, EU-28 (Eurostat, 2014) Transport 33.2% Industry 25.9% Other 0.6% Agriculture and forestry 2.2% Services 13.3% Households 24.8%

5 Motivation Final Energy Consumption, EU-28 (Eurostat, 2014) Transport 33.2% Industry 25.9% Other 0.6% Agriculture and forestry 2.2% Services 13.3% Households 24.8%

6 Motivation 100% Final Energy Consumption in Industry 25% Industrial Drying 85% Convective Drying 99% Without Heat Recovery (Source: Mujumdar, Arnu S., Handbook of Industrial Drying, 2014)
